Myanmar Military Regime Holds Controversial Elections

Myanmar's military regime is holding elections in three phases starting at the end of December.

The elections are seen as a sham because the military controls the process and has deregistered opposition parties.

The National Unity Government in exile and international supporters are calling on the world to denounce the elections.

Neighbouring countries are concerned about stability and may engage with the regime despite the controversial elections.

The elections are unlikely to bring significant change but could potentially lead to a diffusion of power within the military.

The National Unity Government needs to engage with this reality to remain relevant.
